History
The French architect and urban planner Albert Laprade was appointed to redesign the central park of the city under the supervision of Henri Prost in 1913. It was named Parc Lyautey in honor of Hubert Lyautey, the first French résident général in Morocco.

Lyautey moved some arches from the old Portuguese prison, also known as the Prison of Anfa, east toward what is now Hassan II Boulevard, to decorate the park, serving as a support for a pergola.

Parc Yasmina, an amusement park, was established on Moulay Youssef Boulevard in the 1950s, but it had fallen into disrepair and abandon by the time renovations started.

Cost of 2016–2019 renovations
The cost of the park renovations 2016–present is estimated at 100 million Moroccan dirhams.
